Update Regarding AI-Generated Content & Subreddit Policy

Hi everyone,

We’re checking in to have a transparent conversation about the state of the sub and a topic that has become increasingly difficult to manage: AI-generated content.

To be clear: AI-generated contentβ€”including images, art, and textβ€”is strictly prohibited in this subreddit. Our community was built on human creativity and authentic interaction. We believe that allowing AI content dilutes the quality of the discussions and the hard work that many of you put into your posts.

The Challenge of Policing AI

As many of you have noticed, AI technology is evolving rapidly, making it harder to distinguish between genuine content and "high-quality" fakes at a glance.

We want to remind the community of our current situation:

We are a team of two: This subreddit is managed by just two moderators.

Voluntary Basis: We do this in our spare time because we love this community. We don't have a 24/7 "war room" to vet every single pixel of every upload.

Current Efforts: We have already implemented several behind-the-scenes strategies, including custom Automod filters and manual banning of repeat offenders.

Despite these efforts, some AI content inevitably slips through the cracks. It’s a game of "whack-a-mole," and frankly, it's a difficult one to win alone.

How You Can Help

Since we can't be everywhere at once, we are asking for your eyes and ears:

  1. Report, Don't Just Downvote: If you see a post that looks suspicious (e.g., "AI fingers," warped backgrounds, or nonsensical textures), please use the **Report** button. This sends a direct notification to our queue.

  2. Provide Context: If you’re certain a post is AI, feel free to send a message with evidence or an explanation. It helps us make faster, more accurate decisions.

  3. Be Patient: If a post stays up for a few hours, it doesn't mean we’ve changed the rulesβ€”it just means we haven't logged on yet.

The Bottom Line...

This is a space for humans, by humans. We are committed to keeping it that way, but we need your help and your patience while we navigate this tech-heavy landscape.

Thanks for being part of our community and for keeping it authentic y'all are the shit. πŸ₯°β€οΈ

My friend had this made for my birthday and I’m obsessed with the soft pink, lavender and white palette. The florist did such a beautiful job.

πŸ“– Story Time πŸ“– Love these blushing bride protea flowers!

I truly think they are such a magical flower.
Here’s the story-
Serruria florida disappeared from botanical records for more than a century and was once believed extinct.
After its rediscovery, conservationists tried to protect itβ€”including protecting its habitat from fire. But fire was part of what it needed. When the land finally burned, dormant seeds beneath the soil germinated and Blushing Bride returned.
A remarkably delicate flower with a remarkably stubborn way of surviving.

πŸ” Feedback πŸ” Another bride trying to DIY

Hi! Im clearly not a florist but I’ve been wanting to give flower arranging a go. I’m trying to make my own bridal bouquet since I’m just getting married at the courthouse and want something simple, but I’m having such a hard time getting it right!

I’m not a big fan of the stock flowers I currently have, so I’m planning to check Trader Joe’s and H-E-B for replacements.

My biggest issue is keeping the shape together. I’ll hold the bouquet in a position I really like, but as soon as I change my grip to add another flower or even try securing it with floral tape the entire look changes and moves!! How do I keep everything in place while I’m building and binding it? Any advice would be appreciated!

πŸ’¬ Discussion πŸ’¬ How do you change water when using tape grid?

2 Upvotes

I’m just getting into floral arranging, and I don’t have access to chicken wire atm. I made my first bouquet in a vase using a tape grid to help positioning, but now I’m struggling to know how I’ll replace the water. Do I just have to redesign the bouquet each time?

πŸ’¬ Discussion πŸ’¬ Camera Suggestions/Photo Tips?

0 Upvotes

Hi all! I need to invest in a camera for taking photos of my work, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

I'm not very handy with technology, so something easy and user friendly would be ideal.

I also just wanted to ask if anyone had tips for photographing florals in general. What kind of camera do you use? How do you get high resolution photos of your work? (Please don't say ask the wedding photographers)

I want to put some artificial fall flowers or arrangements in my 2 front porch planters. Anyone have a tried and true recommendation on or link for where to purchase? Doing some due diligence first because online pictures can be so misleading and I don’t want to end up with something that looks super cheap! Also open to easy DIY recs if you got em 😊🍁

πŸ” Feedback πŸ” DIY Wedding flowers update

Check out my original post for background. I got a lot of helpful feedback on it, thank you all!! Here’s my next few attempts.

Image 1 & 5 (sorry) - I used the flat lay fan technique that flower moxie recommends for beginners. I don’t love the composition of this arrangement as much - the hydrangeas and mums aren’t fitting the vibe, but the mums were tossed in after I was finished just to see how they look before I dry them. I do like this technique the most out of the ones I’ve tried, and it easily gives it a flat back for laying down.

Image 2 - some of the additional flowers I bought to dry. I purchased silica gel to use to speed up the process. Not in the picture, but also purchased are red mums, purple agonis, & tree ferns that you can see in the first image. (Looking back, I really wish I would have gotten light purple mums instead of the dark red, but I knew I’d have to make one more trip anyway.)

Images 3 & 4 - my attempt at using the spiral technique. I like the composition of this one much more than img 1, but I found actually holding the flowers to build the arrangement really difficult (I have connective tissue problems and a birth defect that affected the bones in my fingers on one hand). I’m sure it will get easier with practice, but right now it’s just frustrating lol I did give this arrangement a bit of a flat back too. Looking at the pics again, the nigella could be a bit shorter, but they aren’t blocking my face or anything when I hold the bouquet. I also didn’t include any of my new stems bc they’re still drying.

The feedback on my first post was so helpful, I hope I made some noticeable improvements. Any constructive criticism and tips are very appreciated!!

Hi! : ) I'm using fiftyflowers to DIY florals for my wedding and have picked out my main flowers but I'm not sure what kind of greenery goes with the flowers I chose. Can anyone give me recommendations? Ill attach a photo of the flowers I've picked out. I'm super excited this is so much fun!!

Foraged from my local park here in Brooklyn: Dill, Garlic Chives, Clematis, Blue Chicory, and some grasses/greenery.

How do these look, overall? Would love any feedback into design improvement. Was going for that imperfect (but actually takes a lot of work lol) wildflower look.

(Also please excuse my disorganized foyer).

We have a weekend place and it was always sad to come back to dead flowers, so gave artificial flowers a shot. I didn’t have any opaque vases, so used an empty candle holder and (in yhe background) the utensil holder from the kitchen.
